Dyna-Beads worked perfectly for me on my 2000 & 2005 FLH's, but did NOT work at all on my 2010 FLHXSE front 19" Agitator wheel which was out of balance by 3 ounces.

Worked fine for me on 05 and 07 bikes, but not on my 09.  I suspect because of these new tyres that suffer so badly with cupping - or maybe the cupping is caused by the same problem that stops the dyna beads from working....  :nixweiss:

Just put them in with my new tire on my 010 SE5 and think they work great.  Plus no weights sticking on my nice chrome front wheel.  Got 30,000 miles on the original front, so I will see how the tire holds up with the beads.

When I used to have the H1 Hummers they were almost impossible to ballance because of crappy rims and sub par tires, there was a group using something similar on those trucks. I had not thought of using them on the bikes though.

The tire still had good tread, but planning some long trips so I wanted it ready for my next trip.  Always ride two up and loaded.  Changed the first rear at 15,000 miles, but will run this one another 2000 or 3000 miles before I change, and am going to use the beads in the rear also.

It's amazing sometimes what you can get out of a tire under certain conditions.  My tires on my car were rated for like 40 or 45k miles, managed to get about 100k miles on them doing my daily 120 mile commute, before I had to change em and I wasn't easy on them either.

Put them in my 97 FXD,front and back,when I put the bike away in December just got a chance to take the bike out this weekend.I was very impressed with the improvement in the ride.Smooth as glass.I had a brand new front tire installed and balanced in September,rear tire a year ago.Never noticed any problems but it feels much smoother with the beads.I'm going to put them in both my cars as well.

I've had them on both of our touring for a couple years and more recently on my 2010 Fat Bob and think they're awesome. Cant figure out how some of the bad reviews come about   :nixweiss:
